I love this picture of 6-year old Charlie that Sara took at Easter. She looks so serious sitting on a rock by the lake at her Grandma's place writing in her new notebook. She is excited to be learning to read and write and loves to practice her reading and writing.

In case you can't make it out, the story she wrote goes like this:

"Charlie is the most specialist girl in the whole wide world. I know why I even think that she is the most goodest cause I am Charlie. The End."

I love it. Fearing that I'll forget what her original spelling is supposed to say, I wrote the story in more traditional spelling and tucked it behind her story on the scrapbook layout. The small ribbon attached is for pulling the translation out so it can be read.

About Me

Welcome to my world. I've been married to my best friend and high school sweetheart, Lloyd, for more than 40 years now. We have seven grown-up children, seven children-in-law, and twenty grandchildren.
Because there are so many people in our immediate family, this blog will center around them, interspersed with postings about scrapbooking, friends, and travels.
Our home base is Edmonton, Alberta, Canada but we spend as much time as we can in Lethbridge, AB and Surprise, AZ.
I appreciate any and all comments you might like to make. Thanks for reading.
